Steven Gerrard & The Kid With a Broken Leg

Swinger

I wonder what the truth behind the incident was. I mean, I like Stevie G and cant see him as someone prowling the estates of Liverpool looking to run down some helpless kid.... . Can you imagine Roy Keane doing that for a geordie kid? or Wayne Rooney?

Actually, I imagine any kid trying to get up and walk away no matter how bad they were injured if Rooney was driving. I mean, would you want to be photographed with Shrek's stunt double?

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can get out of your country for free!

You are not going to get all defensive about Liverpool are you? I wasn't having a go at Scousers I was having a go at the way that everything is turned into a sympathy fest. Clearly knocking over a kid is bad news, however the kid is not badly injured (we have all broken a leg or arm or worse at some time) and I was anticipating the inevitable articles and stories of brave Stevie at the kid's bedside. There is no need to be so sensitive about this.

Maybe the kid was paid by Chelsea so SG wouldn't be able to get the England captaincy away from JT now that he is injured. It will be obvious if he has the captaincy for a couple of games that it should be his full time.
